Leonardo DiCaprio
Shawn Phelan,
, TV, 1990. Confessions, confessions. Allison Jones, #1 casting director of comedies (by Judd Apatow, Paul Feig, etc) told The New Yorker in 2015 how she was told to pass on Leonardo DiCaprio in the short lived series. The role was the episode's title,
Wolf Boy
: a Truffautian teenager raised by forest wolves. Jones never liked working for the networks. Too many suits. Too many opinions. For example, a writer complained that DiCaprio and the other kids looked too well-fed. (When she suggested Jim Carrey for another show, his mouth was too big). After 16 screen roles in 15 years, young Phelan suffered traumatic brain injury in car smash on March 29, 1994, remaining in a coma until dying at age 23 on September 27, 1998.
Jay R. Ferguson,
The Outsiders,
TV, 1990. Looking more ten than 15, Leo lost Ponyboy Curtis to the future
Mad Men
actor - and was compensated with another role in the pilot. The series died after 13 weeks. Leo's test was among 54 such tapes banned from auction in Beverly Hills by the actors' union in April 2013. "Auditions are not public performances," said the SAG-AFTRA. "Performers are entitled to expect them to remain private."
Chris O'Donnell,
Scent of a Woman,
1991. All the young turks were in the pot for Charlie, the prep schooler babysitting a blind Al Pacino (finally winning his Oscar). DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Randall Batinkoff, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Stephen Dorff, Brendan Fraser, Cole Hauser, Anthony Rapp, Sam Rockwell and Christopher Serrone.
Omri Kastz,
Hocus Pocus
Something told him: Don't do this movie.
"There is a lot of luck and timing. But that's not all of it. You know that quote:
We stand on the shoulders of giants
. Had I not had a contemplation or an understanding of all the greatness that had been done in cinema, had I not given myself a cinematic history lesson, on my own, I wouldn't have known what to compare it to. I remember jumping around with Toby Maguire and Kevin Connolly in the trailer of their TV show
Great Scott
… rocking the air stream, because I got the part in
Gilbert Grape
. I'd done
This Boy's Life
, and they'd given me the offer for
Hocus Pocus
, and I'd told them no. I wanted
Gilbert Grape
. It was a gamble, because I'd never had any real money in my life, and it was the first real money offer I'd ever gotten. I was 16 or 17. I look back and I don't know how I, at that point, could have made that decision. I still didn't have a home. We were renting a house…
I remember, at 15… obsessively sitting in my bedroom watching every VHS tape I could rent.
Just going to the video store all day long… After watching those movies, I just felt, 'Holy shit, I've got one shot to be in this business, and I got a movie with Robert De Niro. I won the fucking lottery. So what are you going to do with that, kid? You have this path in front of you…' Who knows?' Maybe that other movie could have been great… Honestly, everything I've done was informed by watching those movies. Everything."
(DiCaprio was discussing his career with LA's finest journo, Deadline Hollywood Mike Fleming Jr, February 10, 2016).
Chris O'Donnell,
Batman Forever
Chris O'Donnell,
Mad Love
, 1994. He'd just broken through as Johnny Depp's kid brother in
What's Eating Gilbert Grape,
so Leo was none too keen on daffy comedies with Drew Barrymore… Which could be seen as a
sequel. The young lovers run away, her parents find her and shove her in a mental home, he springs her loose and and there they go, on the road again.
Michael Rappaport,
Higher Learning
, 1995. Split for
The Quick and The Dead
Western where star-producer Sharon Stone was paying him out of her own pocket.
Joaquin Phoenix,
To Die For,
1995. In the mix when Gus Van Sant wanted Patricia Arquette in the lead. Joaquin is the brother of River Phoenix, star of Van Sant's
My Private Idaho;
Leo inherited Rimbaud in
Total Eclipse
, 1995, after the River's death in 1993.
Edward Norton,
Primal Fear,
1995. Every young star's nightmare. He says no and instead of seeing it going to one of the usual rivals, the director finds a totally new kid, fresh out of Yale... and he wins an Oscar nod. Tired of waiting so long for a suitable youngster, Richard Gere almost quit.
Mark Wahlberg,
Boogie Nights
, 1996. Director Paul Thomas Anderson's exploration of the 70s porno biz as a family unit needed a stud called Dirk Diggler - loosely based on hungalike John C Holmes. "Got to me a little late, guys, just signed for
. Know what? You should get Mark..." Leo regretted missing it, but he was just too wholesome and not smegma cheesy.
Matt Damon,
Good Will Hunting,
1997. Director Michael Mann loved the script by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, just didn't want them as Will and Chuckie - written,
style for themselves. His only thought (and Rob Reiner's for awhile) was: Brad 'n' Leo - Pitt and DiCaprio.
James Caviezel,
The Thin Red Line
, 1998. High on Terrence Malick's comeback, DiCaprio took time off from
Romeo + Juliet
in Mexico to fly to Austin, Texas, for a meet in the American Airlines salon. Shades of Howard Hughes!
Edward Furlong,
, 1998. As per usual, John Waters' title was funnier than his script. His guy was called Pecker because... he pecked, like a bird, at his food. So why not Birdy?
Tobey Maguire,
Ride With The Devil,
1998. Taiwanese Ang Lee's take on the US Civil War - "like Bosnia or Vietnam, yet it was dead-centre USA."
Adrien Brody,
Summer of Sam
, 1998. Leo and
Benicio Del Toro
were first choices for the leads finally given to Brody and John Leguizamo in Spike Lee's look at the victims of the serial killer during the terrifying New York summer of '77. A film, said Chicago critic Roger Ebert, vibrating with fear, guilt and lust.
Tobey Maguire,
The Cider House Rules
, 1998. Had to refuse his
Gilbert Grape
maker Lasse Hallstrom - but recommended his pal.
Matt Damon,
The Talented Mr. Ripley
, 1998. Anthony Minghella turned down Leo and his pal, Tobey Maguire.
Keanu Reeves,
The Matrix
, 1998. "Too many special effects," complained Leo… The score's composer Don Davis said Johnny Depp was first choice of the Wachowski siblings (then brothers Larry and Andy, now sisters Lana and Lilly). Warners voted:
Brad Pitt
Val Kilmer
. They passed. OK, said Warners: Depp or
Keanu Reeves
. (As if that was a choice). Also seen for the neo-noir Neo: Nicolas Cage (family commitments), David Duchovny (preferred TV's
), Ewan McGregor (shooting
Star Wars: Episode 1
), Lou Diamond Phillips (his agent said: instant flop) and the surprisingly honest Will Smith - "I would have messed it up!"
Brendan Fraser,
The Mummy
, 1998. Hero Rick O'Connell was up between Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Matthew McConnaughey, Chris O'Donnell, Sylvester Stallone. And Leo tried to postpone
The Beach
in order to make both movies. Impossible said his UK producers. Question: would Martin Scorsese have ever made five films with the guy from
The Mummy
Christian Bale,
American Psycho
, 1999. Bale, Spielberg's
Empire of the Sun
kid, was all set for Mary Harron's version of Brett Easton Ellis' hardcore novel about a yuppy serial killer. when suddenly at the 1998 Cannes film festival, Lions Gate Films announced a $21m. deal with the
supernova - who then wanted Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese or Oliver Stone to direct! News to Bale, Harron and producer Ed Pressman. To Leo, as well. Or, that was his manager's spin when Leo got bad press for for pushing Bale out. So, Leo quit for
The Beach
(pushing Ewan McGregor out!). and did his own kind of Bateman as Jordan Belfort in Scorsese's comedy-noir,
The Wolf of Wall, Street,
John Leguizmo,
Summer of Sam
, 1999. Spike Lee spins back to the summer of '77 won Leo's
Romeo + Juliet
Ethan Hawke,
Snow Falling on Cedars,
1999. Saw the Uganda born director Scott Hicks (of
fame) but refused the hero named Ishmael.
Keanu Reeves,
The Matrix
, 1999. Leo as Neo. He had too much charisma for a cypher.
Matt Damon,
All The Pretty Horses
, 2000. Papers called it
Titanic Goes West
when DiCaprio's people were demanding his new pay-cheque of $20m in 1998. Damon, a great fan of the book, was paid $6m. "I loved it. I wish I could do that movie forever. I have never felt that way about anything ever before."
Ewan McGregor,
Moulin Rouge
, 2000. He didn't even need his director pal Baz Luhrmann to tell him that his atrocious singing voice (his words) blew his chances of a lead role. A dozen hyars later, Luhrmann called up his Romeo for
The Great Gatsby
. No singing required!
Adrian Grenier,
Havard Man
, 2001. Met twice with writer-director James Toback about his script seven years earlier. "He suddenly flops down on the couch in the fetal position, fingers flicking pianistically on his thigh. Then, he jumps up as if startled by a noise." (A perfect imitation of Harvey Keitel in Toback's
). "This," continued Toback's diary, "is one brilliant motherfucker."
Tobey Maguire,
Hayden Christiansen
Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones
, 2001.
Jude Law,
Cold Mountain
, 2002. Too cold! Romance, friendship and war as a wounded confederate soldier, Inman, tries to return to his North Carolina mountain and his gal, Nicole Kidman as Ada.
Michael Pitt,
The Dreamers
, 2003. Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci's dream Matthew, had to pass not (like Jake Gyllenhaal) due to the full frontal sex but prepping
The Aviator
, 2004, with Martin Scorsese. Pitt closely resembled Leo., but proved a more credible innocent.
Kevin Spacey,
Beyond The Sea
, 2004. "Let's go for Leo - you're too old to play Bobby Darin," Paramount told Spacey in 2000. True, but he got neatly around that in his script. He also did his own singing. And writer-directed the movie. Beat that, Leo!
Tom Cruise,
2003. No way, said Leo - tool busy crashing planes as the
r Howard Hughes The hitman in the back of Jamie Foxx's cab changed - Leo, Colin Farrell, Edward Norton, John Travolta - almost as often as the thriller's director. from Scorsese (making
, instead) and Spielberg to Spike Lee and, finally, Michael Mann (one of the 18
Nick Stahl,
Sin City
, 2004. Aiming high, Robert Rodriguez first asked Leo to be Roarke Jr, aka The Yellow Bastard. Or, Blue Bastard on-set, because yellow, like green, reacts with the green screen, yadda, yadda...
Jake Gyllenhaal,
, 2004. Considered, alongside his mate Tobey Maguire, for US Marine Anthony "Swoff" Swofford, who wrote of Desert Storm: "Whatever else he may do with his life - build a house, love a woman, change his son's diaper - he will always be a jarhead."
Matt Damon,
The Good Shepherd
, 2006. It was 14 years since Robert De Niro directed the very young Leo in
A Boy's Life
- but now he'd succeeded De Niro as Martin Scorsese's steady star. Hence, he preferred
The Departed
ensemble to this De Niro's pet project for a decade: the life of the real founder of the CIA, James "Jesus" Angelton. Somehow, Matt made both.
Will Smith,
2007. Collecting dust on Hollywood shelves for a rapidlyl decade as
Tonight, He Comes,
Vincent Ngo's script (much darker, with Hancock unable to to have sex without killing his lovers) had the finger smudges of George Clooney and close pals Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
Emile Hirsch,
Into The Wild,
2007. When first keen on adapting-directing Jon Krakauer's novel,
Sean Penn
Leo as
Christopher McCandless on a Kerouac road and Brando as his most touching contact, who sees him as a wayward grandson.
Ewan McGregor,
Angels & Demons
, 2008. Tom Hanks, star of the Dan Brown franchise, personally asked Leo to play Camerlengo Patrick McKenna. And Leo personably passed. In 2001, they had co-starred in Steven Spielberg's
Catch Me If You Can
Christoph Waltz,
Inglorious Basterds
, 2008. Leo was first choice for Nazi officer Hans Landa until Quentin Tarantino felt a German-speaklng actor would be better. Leo became QT's next villain - Calvin Candie in
Django Unchained
, 2012. With Waltz as the hero, an ex-dentist-turned -bounty hunter.
Johnny Depp,
Public Enemies
, 2009. First on board as Public Enemy #1 John Dillinger when the project came up, circa 2004.
Jude Law,
Repo Men
, 2009. He was in director Miguel Sapochnik's second feature. Then, he wasn't. So it blows.
Ryan Gosling,
The Ides of March,
2010. George Clooney shelved his fourth entry as a director in 2008 when Beau Williamson's
Farragut North
play was suddenly too cynical during the optimism of Barack Obama;'s becoming US President. Therefore, he lost Leo, his co-producer, as a Sammy Glickish spinmeister doing anything to win the presidential nomination for his candidate (Clooney in a role referred to but never seen in the play). Chris Pine was chased before Gosling took over.
Aaron Johnson,
, 2011. Leo was far too busy to take up Oliver Stone's drama about two pals growing such great pot that a Mexican drug cartel threatens to kill their girl unless the guys work for them.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt,
The Dark Knight Rises
, 2011.
Chris Pine,
Rise of the Guardians
, 2011. Leo was due to voice Jack Frost, but a crowded agenda forced him to quit during pre-production.
Brad Pitt,
World War Z
, 2012. Max Brooks' book about a zombie pandemic (!) was fought over by Leo and Brad Pitt's combines. Plan B won - ie Pitt.
Christian Bale,
Out of the Furnace
, 2012. Due for the lead - an ex-con haunted by his past - until Quentin Tarantino unchained Django. Leo's His company, Appian Way, co-produced.
Jack Gyllenhaal
, 2013. Attached, as they say, during the project's four year on/off Hollywood shelf life. Jake had starred in the French-Canadian director Denis Villeneuve's previous movie,
Henry Cavill,
The Man From UNCLE,
2013. Superman Cavill goes Solo. Napoleon Solo... After securing the 60s' TV series rights in 1993, producer John Davis went through 20 years, 14 scripts, four directors (letting slip Soderbergh
Tarantino!), plus
Napoleon Solos. From George Clooney in 2010 to Tom Cruise three years later. By way of the early-21st century suspects: DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Matt Damon, Joel Edgerton, Michael Fassbender, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ryan Gosling, Jon Hamm, Joel Kinnaman, Ewan McGregor, Robert Pattinson, Chris Pine, Ryan Reynolds, Alexander Skarsgård (he switched to Tarzan), Channing Tatum. Even Russell Crowe, surely a better bet at 50 for old Waverly, the UNCLE boss. Poor Davis never got it right!
Samuel L Jackson,
Secret Service
, 2013. Hey, Leo, howda like to be the villain? Been there, done that, got the Tarantino tee-shirt! The not-007-but… thriller was directed by Matthew Vaughn, who created the sixth James Bond with the 2003 choice of Daniel Craig for
Layer Cake
- "My name? If you knew that, you'd be as clever as me."
Benedict Cumberbatch,
The Imitation Games
, 2013. Leo was first choice, but Cumberbatch was better for the tragic tale of UK mathematician Alan Turing. He helped crack the Enigma code during World War II. Was hailed as a hero and chemically castrated for being homosexual - "a really shameful, disgraceful part of our history," said Cumberbatch.
Mark Wahlberg,
The Gambler,
2014. Wahlberg, who has had his (few) moments on-screen, lost 61 lbs for his addict rôle of a lifetime in the totally unnecessary re-tread of James Toback's autobio study with James Caan in 1974. Now if Plan A had gone ahead - Leo and Martin Scorsese, together again -
have been something.
Billy Crudup,
The Stanford Prison Experiment
, 2014. Despite being (a) minus superheroes and (b) based on a 1992 documentary, among other films, TV episodes and mangas influenced by the SPE, Hollywood was bedazzled by the awful tale and De Caprio was keen on playing Dr Philip Zimbardo, studying the psychological effects of jail on prisoners and warders. In 1971, he literally incarcerated 24 students in a Stanford U basement and watched an epic power-play nightmare unfold… not far removed from the horrors perpetrated by US Amy and CIA in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison as revealed in 2003.
Michael Fassbender,
Steve Jobs
, 2015. Christian Bale was in, then out (like Sony Pictures!). Other potential Apple visionaries included Bradley Cooper, Matt Damon and DiCaprio. Christian baled for
The Accountant
andLeo took over another Bale reject,
The Revenant…
before"a lengthy break from acting." "Horrible behaviour," said producer Mark Gordon. "Actually despicable," replied Sony production chief Amy Pascal… in hacked emails leaked in December 2014. Then, Fassbender proved available. Luckily for director Danny Boyle
Ben Affleck,
Live By Night
, 2015. When deciding to simply produce, Di Caprio passed the lead to Affleck - who wrote, directed and co-produced with Leo's company. Author Dennis Lehane was not sure Affleck could portray the deceitfulness, modesty and shame of Prohibition "bandit" Joe Coughlin until Ben won him over by agreeing to test. (It must have been better than his one trick pony acting in the film). Finally, Warner Bros ruined it all by slashing Affleck's three hour cut from a character study to action movie.
Jason Momoa,
2017. Di Caprio had always been keen to produce and if necessry star in an aquafilm. Over the years, Matt Damon and Simon Baker were also in the swim… before Momoa was announced on October 15, 2014… for 2018 summer release.

What a year (to forget)!
The personal and political collide making for tumultuous change. Keep calm and carry on must be the most overused cliché but seems the only appropriate expression to use.
Keeping calm when daughter returns to the family home after 17 years in France with two children and six suitcases to re-establish a life and career on this side of the channel. Her very own Frexit.
Keeping calm while geothermal heating is concurrently installed involving weeks/months of drilling and digging outside, an endless supply of mud inside and out and no living room while underfloor heating is laid. No room to swing a cat let alone for two active boys to launch into a superhero mission.
Keeping calm when my mother announces to her new black African carer that she shouldn't be eating with us because she is a servant, not family or friend. Gulp! Is this dementia speaking? Or a long buried cultural attitude that has just lost its socialised veneer? But poignantly, after 2 weeks, mum wept when Agnes was leaving to go back to Africa as she feared she might never see her again.
Heightened emotions and anxiety seem to characterise mums particular form of dementia. It makes for a sad life and I haven't found the antidote. But she is still physically fit and in her own home although in truth the bungalow has never really been her home. Her heart and her memories are elsewhere in a jumbled up jigsaw that will never be put together.
I spend my time yo-yo-ing between the generations as the proverbial sandwich filler while clinging on to a thread of cultural life in the form of La Cercle de Lecture. Currently reading Simone de Beauvoir's La Femme Rompue (a woman destroyed). Well how appropriate!
But never mind – keeping calm and just about carrying on ……..

Are you as bow-crazy as Madelyn and I are? I'm not sure if it is the fact that I have been a dancer my whole life, but life just doesn't seem right without a headpiece.
My obsession became rather expensive very quickly, so I have since been creating our bows myself. Madelyn loves to help with designing and creating, too!
We started with 2 colors of 1 1/2 inch ribbon, some white tulle ribbon with pretty silver sparkles – all bought from Hobby Lobby – and a shabby chic flower that I found on Etsy.
I measured and cut 6 1/2 inch strips of my gray and white chevron stripe ribbon, then cut the ends at an angle and used a lighter to melt the ends to prevent fraying.
Then, make an "X" with the 2 pieces and pinch the middle. Wrap the center with sewing thread and tie in a knot at the back.
Next, cut a strip of the contrasting ribbon- in this case, it was pink with white polka dots-measuring approximately 15 inches long.
Take the 15 inch ribbon and form it into a figure 8, then use hot glue to glue it into place.
After, the glue dries, pinch the center of the figure 8 and wrap it with thread, just as before.
Next, I cut a six inch strip of the tulle ribbon and did the same pinch and wrap with the thread.
Then, just stack each piece so that it looks the way you want it to, wrap it with more thread and glue it to a barrette. Last, glue the flower into the middle.
That's it! Super easy and fun!
Do you make your own hair bows? Any other tips and tricks you are willing to share?
Have a happy-crafty kind of day!

Lookout Miami, here comes Tom Wolfe.
In "Back to Blood," the famed author dissects the Florida city with the same fervor he brought to his literary evisceration of Manhattan in "The Bonfire of the Vanities." That novel found Wolfe's journalistic bona fides put to wondrous use, capturing a moment in Big Apple history that felt real, raw and remarkably compelling.
"Back to Blood" nails two of the three.
The sprawling novel, all 720 pages, introduces a colorful cast of characters who never connect with the reader and a series of subplots which suffer a similar fate.
Young, overmuscled Nestor Camacho uses his bulky frame to save a Cuban refugee during a colorfully staged rescue from the mast of a boat. The Cuban-American cop is a hero, but only to some. To his fellow Cubans – even within his own family – he's a traitor for not letting the man complete his mission and reach American soil.
Right away, Wolfe lays down his cultural markers, defining both characters and social mores by our politically correct, identity charged times. People are simultaneously trying to escape their traditions while clinging to their benefits. It's a perfect Age of Obama yarn, but the more Wolfe expands his canvas, the less interested we become.
We soon meet a curious young reporter, Nestor's gorgeous (and vapid) girlfriend, a doctor specializing in the treatment of the porn addicted, a Russian painter with a mysterious way of paying the bills, and many more.
Wolfe doesn't need to make a conventional, linear tale to grab us. "Bonfire" was similarly expansive, but its x-ray treatment of the Big Apple gave the story a ferocious, can't wait to turn the page energy.
"Back to Blood" offers cynicism steeped with copious cultural details, but the novel never engages the heart as much as a firm sense of time and place.
Nestor's plight gets worse when an ill-advised rant becomes a viral video sensation, but it's hard to fully embrace him as "Blood's" essentially noble hero. He's young and headstrong, but his romantic impulses feel like a 13-year-old's arrested by the sudden rush of hormones. Nestor never comes alive, even if his exploits are often larger than life. The women in his life are poorly defined, at first deified and later painted in bland, unattractive hues.
"Blood's" story is so diverse that when it finally takes shape in its waning pages it feels obligatory, not organic. The same can be said for Wolfe's typographical choices, meant to separate thoughts from actions and add panache to the storytelling. They ended up simply annoying the reader.
To his credit, the 80-something author dabbles in up to the minute minutiae without sounding detached. "Blood's" subplots hit reality television, YouTube ubiquity, Facebook and more, and Wolfe's penchant for journalistic excess serves him well time and again, even if the references aren't as fluid as a younger writer might produce.
"Blood's" ability to paint wickedly crisp portraits of Miami's inner workings could become staples should enough copies move off the book store shelves. He captures the city's night life, its arts scene and even its Cuban neighborhoods with the hunger of a man at the very start of his artistic life.
Along the way Wolfe swipes at journalists – taunting them for hauling their weak, schoolyard mindsets into their liberal adult mindsets – and hammers Miami for resembling not so much a melting pot as an oil and water blend refusing to change.
"Back to Blood" finds Wolfe critiquing a city worthy of a thorough cross-examination. He simply neglected to fill Miami with worthy characters to chart our journey.

Noise Test Coventry – Our client, a major food chain retailer throughout the UK, needed a noise test to comply with local planning conditions for the purposes of installing new condensers and chiller plant within an existing shop premises. The location being in a quiet village just outside Coventry and surrounded by residential dwellings and therefore any noise impact from new plant and equipment was of priority and came under the planning conditions of BS 4142 and BS 8233.
BS 4142 / BS 8233 Noise Assessment
NoiseAir provided a noise assessment under BS 4142 and BS 8233 criteria, carrying out noise logging over a number of days to attain typical noise background levels in the local vicinity. Taking the background noise into consideration and the noise impact of the new chiller plant and condensers our investigations confirmed that noise mitigation measures would be required in the form of an acoustic enclosure with ventilation louvres to the new chiller plant.
Noise Mitigation – The Acoustic Enclosure
For best results a full acoustic enclosure was designed to incorporate louvers for ventilation and to also stop overheating of plant equipment. The noise louvres needed to be specially designed as to not compromise any noise break out into the environment. Access doors were also required for routine maintenance and were also incorporated by installing acoustic doors to the same acoustic specification as the full enclosure.

Video Game Everything is Really Everything
The trailer for the Playstation 4/PC simulation game Everything has become eligible for an Academy Award this year. This is the first time a game trailer has achieved such a feat, according to the game's creator David O'Reilly on Twitter.
Cool: Everything just qualified for an Academy Award, making it the first time this has happened to a game/interactive project pic.twitter.com/5SQVD9s960
— David OReilly (@davidoreilly) June 7, 2017
The trailer for Everything, which features 10 minutes of gameplay and philosophical narration, won the Jury Prize for animation at the Vienna Shorts Festival this year. According to the Vienna Shorts website, the gameplay film had a "strong poetic and philosophical theme. It serves a highly educational purpose, including an important political statement, that encourages to let our egos dissolve and gain a new perspective on the world."
The Game That Lets You Be Everything
Everything is an interactive simulation which was released for the Playstation 4 March 21, 2017. With simple graphics and animation, it features a universe that allows players to take the forms various objects and lifeforms, from atoms to entire planets, and make them interact in different ways. The game makes room for players to experience it in whatever way they like at their own pace. In addition, if left alone the game will play by itself, so players can simply watch if they so choose. Since its release, the game has received positive reviews from critics such as Polygon and The Guardian, but now its trailer is getting even more attention.
While the Everything gameplay trailer may not be a typical short film, winning a Jury Prize made it eligible for an opportunity no other video game trailer has had before. Because of this success, the gameplay trailer may be in the running to win an Oscar within the animated short film category.
O'Reilly later stated in a tweet that the eligibility was "unexpected and cool," and that he is "grateful," even he expressed doubt about the film making it against the other competition.
i didnt expect tweet 2 blow up! to clarify, theres no game category, the short/video of the game would compete in animated short category
— David OReilly (@davidoreilly) June 8, 2017
obviously very unexpected and cool – i have a strong feeling it wont get very far. who knows. im grateful.
— David OReilly (@davidoreilly) June 8, 2017
Everything is currently available for Playstation 4 and via download on PC or Mac from Steam.

Lucky loser Pera stunned Konta in the second round in Melbourne last month but the world number 11 survived a shaky first set to win 7-6 (7/5) 6-1 in Doha.
Konta's loss in Australia was another sign of her fragile confidence after her poor end to last season but she arrived in the Middle East boosted by three victories for Great Britain's Fed Cup team.
In a topsy-turvy opening set, Konta saw a 3-0 lead slip away and then had to recover from 6-5 30-0, breaking Pera as she served for the set.
After prevailing in the tie-break, Konta began to look a lot more comfortable and raced through the second set to move through to a second-round clash with either Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro or Kateryna Bondarenko of Ukraine.

Southwest running back Trevon Sands got a call Tuesday night from coaches at the University of Missouri who were wondering if he would be interested in switching his commitment from South Florida to the Tigers program.
He wasn't.
On Wednesday, Sands, who has been committed to the Bulls since March 2014, made it official, signing scholarship papers with USF.
Sands, a 5-11, 175-pounder, is listed by the Bulls as an "athlete." But Southwest coach Tim Neal said Sands has been told he would be used at running back and kick returner, with some opportunities to also play slot receiver.
Three other Southwest players signed Wednesday inside the school library: quarterback Deundre Pickett-White (Alcorn State), wide receiver Sam Flowers (Greensboro College, a Division III school in North Carolina) and defensive back Quindale Corker (Coffeyville, a junior college in Kansas).
Pickett-White was the most emotional of the signees, shedding tears as he spoke of wanting to remain a quarterback in college.
"I love the position," he said. "I'm never going to change my position. It means a lot to me."

Lots of individuals around the world are switching their focus on natural hair-care treatments, as a result of damage that the compounds in shampoos and other hair-care products are doing to the hair. Also, when you can get your hair treatment done without needing to shell out all that cash, what is better! Egg yolk, the yellowish part of an egg, not only makes a nutritious diet, but also happens to be an early hair-care treatment. Egg yolks contain lecithin and protein, which fortify the hair. Also, eggs are rich in vitamin A, E and D, which are essential nutrients for prevention of baldness, enhancing hair well-being, feel and sheen. In addition they shield the hair in the effects of pollution, chlorine and UV rays.
Is Egg Yolk Great for the Hair?
There are several advantages of applying egg on hair. Deficiency of vitamins, heredity, insufficient nourishment to the scalp, etc. can result in hair loss. As we saw egg yolk is an excellent supply of protein and furnishes the scalp with essential nourishment, thus resulting in growth of healthier and shinier hair. It acts as an all-natural moisturizer to dry and damaged hair. Egg yolk application softens the hair, makes it more manageable and reduces the incidence of frizz.
Separating Egg Yolk in the White
While contemplating egg yolk for hair treatment, we must separate the egg yolk in the egg white. Because of this, you should take a glass bowl and pat the middle of the egg pretty powerfully, on the edge of the bowl. The egg will break in the middle. Now without breaking the egg open, gradually turn the egg vertically in your hand. The egg yolk being heftier will sink to the base. Now slowly break open the top part of the egg and let the egg white to ooze out into the bowl. After all the egg white in the upper eggshell cap was emptied, slowly transfer the egg yolk in the underside shell to the upper shell. Try this for several times till all the egg white gets separated in the yolk. Your egg yolk is prepared to be used for hair treatment.
Kinds of Egg Yolk Hair Treatment
Egg yolks may be used with distinct day to day commodities located in the kitchen. They make superb hair masks with oils and juices. Let's take a look at some of them:
- Whipped Egg with White Wine Vinegar: Into two egg yolks pour some white wine vinegar and whip till a smooth, uniform consistency is obtained. The egg yolk-white wine mixture will impart an excellent sheen to the hair.
- Egg Yolks with Lemon Juice: Apply this mixture to the hair, right in the root to the hair points. Leave the mixture on the hair for ten minutes and after that rinse with cold water. The lemon and egg mixture will reduce the stickiness from greasy hair, leaving it bouncy and light. This concoction can also be great for dandruff alleviation.
- Egg Yolks with Yogurt and Lemon Rind: Whisk well and after that apply the mixture to moistened hair. Wash after 30 minutes and shampoo. Your hair will feel smooth and appear lustrous.
- Egg Yolks Yolks: Take the separated egg yolk and put it in a bowl. Apply this whisked egg yolk onto the scalp and hair, and leave it for 30 minutes. Wash it with cool water. For ordinary baldness, using egg yolk one time a week is proper. After a month of egg yolk application you'll discover your hair loss has reduced significantly.
- Egg Yolks with Almond Oil: Blend well to form a paste and apply it completely onto the hair and scalp. Your hair will be smooth, shiny and moisturized. This treatment is great for people with dull and damaged locks.
- Egg Yolk with Castor Oil: Whisk completely and apply this mixture onto damp hair. Leave it for a short while and after that rinse thoroughly to remove all the egg.
- Egg Yolk with Linseed Oil: Rub the scalp with the mixture at the same time. After 30 minutes, rinse your hair completely. This linseed-egg yolk mixture helps treat dry hair. It's possible for you to keep the mixture on for more if you desire, yet, simply ensure it does not become overly dry or else it'll be rather hard to wash off.
- Egg Yolk with Lavender Oil: Apply the mixture to your own hair and rinse after 30 minutes.
The abovementioned egg yolk treatments were only several of the wonders egg yolks are with the capacity of doing in combination with other ingredients. It's possible for you to add or subtract ingredients and prepare your own egg yolk hair treatment.
The best way to Make an Egg Yolk Conditioner?
Egg yolks make great conditioners at the same time.
- Conditioner from Avocado Oil and Egg Yolks: Wash your hair with a mild shampoo and squeeze the excess water outside. Use this egg yolk solution in your hair and massage well. Rinse with cool water after 5 minutes. It is most likely the scent of eggs will last, thus apply some shampoo once more to your own hair.
- Conditioner from Olive and Egg Yolks: To exploit egg's conditioning gains, get the egg yolk and mash a little avocado into it. Prepare a paste and apply it onto the hair completely. This mix acts as an excellent moisturizing sheath for one's hair, protecting it and giving it glow.
The best part about egg yolk hair treatments is that there's nothing to worry about. Egg yolk is safe, suits all types of hair types and has no side effects whatsoever! The only drawback of egg yolk for hair treatment is the egg smell. Egg does not have a pleasant aroma and causes the entire house to smell of egg on application. So avoid using egg yolks only before going to work or a party. The advantages of egg yolks are plenty and not worth missing as a result of the 'eggy-smell'. Have fun!

Always remember that exfoliating your face is very important. Sensitive skin should be exfoliated about once or twice a week. If you skip this vital step you are passing on a very important step that can really help your complexion glow. Exfoliating helps to clear away dead skin and other debris.
Use a bit of waterproof mascara if your eyes are feeling tired. This product can open up your eyes and enhance their appearance. Watch out for clumping and accidental application to the skin. A disposable mascara wand will help you separate your lashes.
Prior to using a fake tan, you should ensure any unwanted hair is removed 24 hours beforehand. Shaving or waxing will give you the best results. Remember to wait a day or two before applying your tan. You will have a tan that is more natural looking and not so uneven.
To maintain, fresh, sparkling skin, make sure you always have moisturizer on hand. This is especially important during the winter. The cold weather can crack and damage your skin. Skin that is moisturized will be able to withstand breaks and cracks.
Pimples and blemishes can suddenly erupt to cause chaos in your makeup routine. Use a dab of toothpaste to battle any blemish that appears on your skin. Do not wash off the toothpaste until approximately ten minutes has passed. This should drastically reduce the appearance of the pimple.
Prior to going to bed, be sure to remove all of your makeup. Warm water and a soft washcloth is really all that's needed; however, you could also use makeup remover. After this, clean your face using your regular methods. Make-up left on overnight can clog the pores and cause skin conditions.
Eat healthy food for better hair, skin, and nails. When you do this, your beauty is influenced by what is on the inside, not only by what is on the outside. You should be ingesting many types of nutrients for your daily diet. Your diet should contain the recommended amounts of zinc, protein, iron, and whole grains, as these keep your body looking and feeling good.
If you want your skin to keep looking great, stay hydrated over the course of your day. If you are dehydrated, you will create wrinkles, a dull face, and your skin will be dry. Make sure that you are drinking enough water every day. To jazz up what you drink, add a splash of juice or a lemon slice to the water. You'll look radiant in no time.
As you have seen, beauty regimens, while various, share many fundamentals. They are mostly different in the techniques that are used and the products that are applied. All it takes to decide between them is some research and common sense to find the best ones that work with you, your budget and your own skill set.

I follow a few fashion bloggers I like. I hate-follow a few I'm not really sure about. And the rest definitely irritate me. Especially when I start to think about what their lives are actually like. I imagine these girls carefully selecting unfeasible outfits from their exploding closets and trekking out to some different part of the city each day (under the guise of another activity perhaps) and opportunistically posing while their subdued significant other snaps photographs until they're allowed to go home, where the blogger will quickly change into sweatpants while uploading her pics.
Wow. Or maybe I just described is just how I would do it if I was a fashion blogger? But no — really, how I would do it is how the ladies behind Style Journal Blog are doing it. About five months ago, Charmaine Verhagen, Britt Wilson and Vicki Nerino were chatting casually on Twitter about wanting to draw "what I wore" comics. Finding that they were all actually serious, they went ahead and started their own blog. They post when they please, and have invited some other uber-talented illustrator pals to chime in as well.
I may be biased because I'm an illustrator myself, but SJB is my new favorite style blog. The clothing, being drawn, becomes super expressive, and the little notations capture the wearer's personality and relationship with what they wear. While one post might be about a dressy day, the next might be about a day they didn't even put real pants on. After all, as the tagline reads, SJB is all about what people actually wear.
Rather than changing out of the crusty sweatshirt or yoga pants into a "stylish" getup to blog about, they'll keep it on and tell the funny story instead. As someone who is wearing both a crusty sweatshirt and yoga pants right now, I can totally get behind this.
Last week officially marked the end of winter on our calendars; here in the Northeast, Mother Nature gave us the middle finger and temperatures plummeted back towards freezing. I gritted my teeth as I pulled out my heaviest coat once again (after a weekend in light, leather-jacketed bliss), determined not to let my mood be entirely affected by the weather, as it so often is. Here's how I banished my seasonal affective disorder — I recommend you try the same:
- Listening to the new tUnE-yArds song.
- Reading The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York before bed.
- Snacking on strawberry Pocky, because I often have the palate of an 8-year-old.
- Really, truly thinking about the phrase "Conscious Uncoupling."
- Learning more about the Upworthy team in New York Magazine. (Side note: of course an Upworthy editor has a felt muppet version of herself.)
- Getting frustrated with the Hobby Lobby contraception case, then losing myself in the depths of the tacky hellhole that is the Hobby Lobby online store.
- Broad. City.
I can't stop talking about the new Future Islands record, Singles. But it's the first album I've really loved this year.
I suppose this is the part where I talk about how I was into Future Islands before their excellent Letterman performance of "Seasons" went kinda viral. But I can't help but be happy to see that the weirdness of frontman Samuel T. Herring is getting such a positive response — it inspired a thing on Deadspin defending "the schlub frontman.". He sways like an uncool Jack Black and pounds his chest like a P.E. teacher being impersonated by a gorilla. Sometimes his voice dips into a Satanic growl. What the fuck is going on with this guy?
Future Islands sounds a bit like synth pop on the surface, but it's stranger than that. Herring and company are writing songs that are anthemic, with the bald-faced enthusiasm of a slam poetry reading. It's not really that subtle, but it's as enjoyable as it is endlessly earnest. Singles is a more assured, more accessible album than their last, On the Water. I also think it's better — at least more consistent from beginning to end. It's the perfect entry point for new listeners. "Seasons" is maybe the catchiest song they've written to date.
Still, I expected people to be drawn to Future Islands' music in spite of Herring's personality, not because of it. But maybe there's something to being endlessly GIF-able.
What I recommend this week:
- The Kroll Show, very much.
- Dumas' Three Musketeers. Do people still read this book? I do. It's not quite Monte Cristo but it's exciting.
- Going to the symphony as cheaply as possible. Not knowing jack squat about the symphony. Enjoying the symphony.
- Goulash if horseradish is involved.
- Dean Wareham's new album Dean Wareham. It's the Dean Warehamiest thing there is.
- Andrew Solomon's profile of Adam Lanza's father, "The Reckoning." Solomon is the exact right person to write this piece: humane and unflinching.
I missed out on the original incarnation of Anna Kreider's awesome feminist gaming blog Go Make Me a Sandwich, but now that it's back with a vengeance, you shouldn't make the same mistake. GMMAS covers many topics, but its main beat is tearing down the terrible, awful, no good ways women are depicted in various forms of nerdy art. While she covers similar ground as Tumblrs like Eschergilrs and Female Fighters in Unrealistic Armor, Kreider brings a secret weapon to the terrible art war: she's actually a talented illustrator in her own right. Her anatomy corrections of grossly deformed bodies are both hilarious and completely damning. Her recent dismantling of Jonboy Meyers' poster for GenCon 2013 is a perfect example of how valuable this sort of work can be — you don't realize how awful the drawing is until you see the lengths to which Kreider must go to turn it into something that resembles a human figure.
Sadly, anyone who follows feminist discourse online knows what happens next. For daring to point out an established male artist's ugly sexist scribbles, Kreider was targeted by a textbook example of boys' club misogyny. Comics artists J. Scott Campbell (of Danger Girl fame, lol) and Mark Brooks posted on Facebook about Kreider's correction, lazily hand-waving away her critique and stoking the ire of their presumably pubescent fandom. Predictably, the GMMAS post then faced a torrent of hate. Kreider smacked it down gracefully, but it's still an impossibly shitty situation. The world of nerds clearly needs as many Anita Sarkeesian-types as it can muster, but the abuse such women face is unconscionable. The least we can do is support them, and what do you know, GMMAS is Patreon supported.

Come and tour a site of national significance.
Historic Joy Kogawa House is one of the few remaining properties in Vancouver that has been traced back to ownership by a Japanese Canadian family, confiscated by the Canadian government and sold without the owner's permission. It is also a site of many memories for Joy Kogawa and her family.
We run tours of Historic Joy Kogawa House year-round for elementary school groups, secondary school groups and the general public. A Historic Joy Kogawa House field trip supports Grade 5 or Grade 11 BC Social Studies curricula and can be adapted to meet other learning requirements and levels.
All tours include:
- history and information about the house
- an interactive video about the Kogawa family, their life at the house, their evacuation to Slocan, and subsequent years
- tour of the house with references to relevant parts of Joy Kogawa's works
- viewing of photos and artefacts.
School tours may also include a postcard writing activity, a visit to Joy Kogawa's cherry tree, and a walking tour of the Marpole neighbourhood and locations of former homes and businesses expropriated from Japanese Canadian families during the Second World War.
Proceeds from tours help to fund our residencies program.
Meet your tour leaders
Most tours are led by two board members of Historic Joy Kogawa House Society.
Joan Shigeko Young
Chair, Education Committee & Board MemberJoan has been a Historic Joy Kogawa House Society board member since our inception in 2006. A retired elementary school teacher, she spent most of her career teaching in Richmond, BC.

Cyndy Reimer
Education Committee MemberCyndy lived in the house as a caretaker in 2008 and is also a former board member. As a member of our Education Committee, she has helped to develop our tours. Cyndy is an English as a Second Language instructor at Douglas College and enjoys extending her love of education to leading tours of the house for groups of all ages.
Melody Pan
Board MemberMelody is a freelance Japanese-English translator/interpreter with an Honours Degree in Asian Languages and Culture (Japan) from University of British Columbia. Her interests include Japanese pop culture and Japanese Canadian history. Her passion for the stories of Japanese Canadians is strongly tied to her experience of reading Joy Kogawa's novel Obasan in high school. She is eager to welcome and introduce fellow curious minds to the house.

It is always frustrating when a piece of your clothing needs mending. If you are like me, you may put in on several times in hopes that it will be ok to wear it anyway and then just throw it back in the closet, or onto a "mending" pile. That pile may be attended to once a year! However, when it comes to mending, sewing on a new button to a shirt or cardigan has to be one of the easiest jobs. This little project took me under 5 minutes!
|As you can see there is a button missing on this shirt of Mr. Tweedle's.
|If you are lucky and your button is attached to the shirt, simply use scissors or a seam ripper to detach the button so you can use it.
|Begin by poking the needle through the shirt from the back and bring the thread up through one of the holes on the button. Pull the thread all the way through and then poke it back down into the hole that is diagonally across.
|Go though those two holes a few times and then switch and go through the second two holes a few times so that the thread makes an X across the top of the button.
|When it feels secure and you have done about 4-5 stitches across each of the holes, tie off your thread at the back.
|All fixed up... now I need to consult the tutorial on how to iron a men's shirt....

Here's why: When you use a direct modem connection, you need to have a physical modem installed on each PC that needs to exchange data. You also must use a physical phone line. This makes the line busy and may even be costly, if long distance calls are required. Modem transfers are also not secure. A hacker doesn't even need to have an access to your phone line. Your data can be easily intercepted with a remote phone line scanner. In a TCP/IP network, on the contrary, you can use the power of a VPN (Virtual Private Networking), SSH or any other secure tunnel to ensure privacy and security.
There are a lot of reasons to move from a direct modem connection to TCP/IP networking. But, how can you do this without investing thousands into new software? Virtual Modem from FabulaTech provides a cheap and effective solution. This program creates virtual modems that use your local network or the Internet instead of a physical phone line.
How does it work? The virtual modems are accessible to all the applications that work through a direct modem connection. Setup is no different from setting up a physical modem. You simply select a virtual COM port in your communication application settings. The application can control the virtual modem directly by sending AT commands or with TAPI (MS Windows Telephony API). Thus, Virtual Modem should work out-of-the-box for all your communication programs.
One of the very useful Virtual Modem features is its "Address Book". The Address Book allows you to transparently translate phone numbers into IP addresses. You don't even have to change the phone numbers in your communication programs. Just put them into your Address Book.

With Disney's return to traditional 2D animation with the upcoming Princess and the Frog, one would think the company would want to continue to tell classic tales in the medium that brought the company enough frame and fortune that they would eventually buy Marvel. For the upcoming Rapunzel, Disney is returning to the realm of 3D to tell the hairy tale of a girl trapped in a tower.
On the plus side, Mandy Moore and "Chuck" star Zachary Levi have been cast as the leads in the movie that is scheduled to be released during the holiday season of 2010.
Disney's new "Rapunzel" picks up with the princess, famous for her 70 feet of golden hair, after she's been stolen from her parents' castle as an infant and imprisoned. Now a teenager, Rapunzel escapes and goes on the run with a bandit as her captor pursues them.
Will Rapunzel join the pantheon of Disney princesses that have captured the hearts of young girls, or will the 3D treatment cause them to lose interest? Disney also has plans to turn Beauty and the Beast into a 3D feature, and Toy Story 3 is just around the corner.
2 Comments
This film has gone through so many changes all ready; the film was suppose to feature broadway star Kristin Chenoweth. When Iger became the new President of Disney, he was unhappy with the "Shrek" version they were going for and told them to start all over again and make it more like "Snow White". Different titles for the film have surfaced on the web such as "Rapunzel: Unbraided"… I'll be happy when this movie is finally done. LOL
Great picture selection for this post Stephen. I enjoy a good dose of Mandy Moore.

Title of Bulletin Board: It's Your Life... It's Now or Never
Category: Health
Suggested Grade Level: 6-12
Materials: It's Your Life...It's Now or Never
It shows the life of a smoker and the life of a non-smoker. I printed pictures of mouth cancer, lung cancer, Emphysema, yellow/rotten teeth, bad breath, early death, and a pregnant lady smoking. We discuss in class all of the consequences of smoking and I use the bulletin board to help give them a visual of that smoking can do to their lives. I then have healthy people who have chosen not to smoke. However, because I know some of my students and teachers in the building smoke, I also included tips to quit smoking. I found these on the internet.
